PERFORATED PAPER TABLEI'.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 294,803, dated March 11 1884,

ADDlioation filed March 3, 1883.

- marked thereon.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in perforated paper tablets, and has for its object to provide such a device whereby several distinct and separate tablets orblocks of different sizes may be embraced in one article, so as to enable the user to take only the amount necessary for his use at one time without thetrouble or cost of keep I ing on hand a variety of differentsized tablets, as is usually the case with accounts and others.

The invention therefore consists in providing the several sheets of paper composing a tablet with lines of perforations arranged in such a manner as to divide the same into several distinct parts of different sizes, as willbe hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawing. 7

In the drawing, which represents aperspective view of atablet or block constructed according to my invention, the several sheets of paper composing said tablet being perforated vertically and horizontally, so as to divide (Modehl a size larger or smaller than the others, to suit the users convenience, and when the sheets are put together to form a single tablet or block the lines of perforations divide the same into minor tablets or blocks of various sizes, thus doing away with the usual necessary practice of keeping on handa variouslysized lot of such articles. Should only asmall piece of paper be required for use, the same can be detached from the sub tablet or block E, leaving the balance of the sheet intact, and should it be desirable to use both sides of the paper, this detached portion of the sheet may be folded over, as at E E, upon an adjoining section, this operation being similarly performed with any of the several sections, as convenience may require; also, by a tablet or block constructed according to my invention, memorandums may be kept upon a portion of the same without detachment, while the other portions may be used and torn off at pleasure.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As an improved article of manufacture, a tablet divided into blocks or sheets of different sizes bylines of perforations; substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

\VM. OSHEA.
